There’s a bug in some wallet software (that didn’t update) that cause the decoy selection algorithm not to choose outputs that are exactly 10 blocks old, but only 11, which caused all spends from 10 blocks old outputs to be pretty much all considered the true spend.
But generally the more you wait, the more likely you are to be "secure". You can always try churning (wait between a few hours and a few days).
10 blocks is good enough though right?
It's super good enough. The beauty of Monero is it makes private transactions easy.
